At {{convert|2381|m|ft|0}} above sea level, it is the highest volcano in the country. It is located immediately west of Coatepeque Caldera. The volcano was the inspiration for one of the active volcanoes in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's famous French novella (The Little Prince), based on his life with his Salvadoran wife Consuelo de Saint Exupéry, who was The Rose in the story.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} GeographyThe summit of Santa Ana features four nested calderas and volcanic craters, with the innermost containing a small crater lake. Collapse of the summit during the late Pleistocene (inferring from underlying soil samples, the upper age limit is no more than 57 000 years ago) produced a massive debris avalanche that reached the Pacific Ocean, forming the Acajutla Peninsula. Subsequent eruptions have largely rebuilt the edifice.[1] There have been numerous historical eruptions since the 16th century, both at the summit and from cinder cones on the lower flanks, and also the flank vents of San Marcelino located east of Santa Ana. The San Marcelino vents erupted in 1722 and flowed eastwards for 11 km, destroying the village of San Juan Tecpan. In October, 2005, the volcano erupted, killing at least two people, injuring seven people, forcing many people to flee their villages. The volcano spat rocks for over {{convert|1.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} with rocks the size of cars. The eruption contributed to the damage from Hurricane Stan. The most recent previous eruption had been in 1904. ClimateThe climate on the northeast facing slope of the volcano sees substantial rainfall in the summer months. Located at 13.9 N, 89.6 W, altitude : 1770 m, the climate is classified as a subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb). {{Weather box|location = Santa Ana, Volcano; 13.9 N, 89.6 W, altitude : 1770 m |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan high C = 19.3 |Feb high C = 20.6 |Mar high C = 23.3 |Apr high C = 23.2 |May high C = 22.7 |Jun high C = 21.6 |Jul high C = 21.6 |Aug high C = 21.6 |Sep high C = 20.9 |Oct high C = 20.0 |Nov high C = 19.2 |Dec high C = 18.9 |Jan mean C = 14.7 |Feb mean C = 15.3 |Mar mean C = 17.0 |Apr mean C = 17.7 |May mean C = 17.9 |Jun mean C = 17.2 |Jul mean C = 17.1 |Aug mean C = 17.1 |Sep mean C = 16.9 |Oct mean C = 16.2 |Nov mean C = 15.2 |Dec mean C = 14.7 |Jan low C = 11.2 |Feb low C = 11.6 |Mar low C = 12.8 |Apr low C = 13.9 |May low C = 14.6 |Jun low C = 14.3 |Jul low C = 14.0 |Aug low C = 14.0 |Sep low C = 14.2 |Oct low C = 13.6 |Nov low C = 12.7 |Dec low C = 11.8 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 8 |Feb precipitation mm = 5 |Mar precipitation mm = 19 |Apr precipitation mm = 64 |May precipitation mm = 223 |Jun precipitation mm = 427 |Jul precipitation mm = 417 |Aug precipitation mm = 393 |Sep precipitation mm = 452 |Oct precipitation mm = 208 |Nov precipitation mm = 48 |Dec precipitation mm = 10 |source 1 = HKO[1] |date=March 2012 }} See also
